Hawzah News Agency (Qom, Iran) -The Qur’an is the principle source of every Muslim’s faith and practice, but its basic theme is the relationship between God and His creatures and provides guidelines for a just society, proper human conduct and equitable economic principles. For coming weeks we are presenting some short articles on ethical issues that have been written based on the verses of Qur’an.

 Is there something that you feel guilty about it? If you have repented to God, He says He takes your sin and throws it as far as the east is from the west. He casts it into the sea of forgetfulness. “So seek His forgiveness, and then repent to Him. My Lord is Near, Responsive”. (Qur’an; 11:61) And says: “O you who have faith! Repent to God with sincere repentance! Maybe your Lord will absolve you of your misdeeds”. (Qur’an; 66:8) That means God chooses to forget your sins! They are completely removed. Do not let the enemy make you feel guilty for something that happened your past.

 The enemy works overtime to try to bring you down with false accusations. “Satan frightens you of poverty and prompts you to commit indecent acts. But God promises you His forgiveness and grace, and God is all-bounteous, all-knowing”. (Qur’an; 2:268) Be confident that if you have given it to God, He does not remember it. The next time the enemy brings up your past, just declare, “I am free from condemnation” and remember these words of God: “Say:" O My servants, who transgressed against themselves, do not despair of God's mercy. For God forgives all sins. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful”. (Qur’an; 39:53)

 Today repent for anything in your life that is displeasing to almighty God. Thanks Him for His forgiveness and for washing you clean and making you new. Ask Him to receive His grace and mercy so that you can be a vessel used by Him.
